@DanielStanfield. You're obviously someone of very high intelligence, skill, and social ability. I wish you the best.

[DanielStanfiield]

@soulbooth Wow! Thank you for the powerful compliment. Soical ability. It's funny, before I learned Chinese, I was introverted. After I entered the Chinese environment, I became very social.

@DanielStanfiield introverted sounds like my current situation. Thank you for the inspiration black man.

[sakonhagakure]

have you ever had instances of chinese people trying to talk smack in chinese not realizing you speak the language?

[DanielStanfiield]

@sakonhagakure No because people warn them before they say anything bad around me. They say be careful he understands everything so don't curse.

Also, reading the book titled, "The Law of Success original 1925 edition" by Attorney Napoleon Hill help me to tighten up my game.

I have been using a particular method for over 11 years. I work everyday as a janitor, and use Mandarin to occupy my mind while sweeping and mopping. Otherwise, I get bored and start to think negative thoughts. Chinese is my escape from boredom. Mastering speaking, reading, writing and listening each require the same kind of method.

[fagUrrific]

laudable, I love it. :)))) I am attempting to learn Manderin in the same way, you and your acumen renew hope in me!!!

thanks.

[DanielStanfiield]

I think daily practice, repetition and environment is the key. My study method: I keep one sentence with me on a note card and memorize while I am walking and avoid daydreaming about random thoughts. Every time I catch my self with idle time, I start repeating the sentence mentally until I'm bored with it or can say it out loud to a person who speaks Chinese. Once they understand and I have memorized it, I move on to a new sentence.

I work in a section 8 senior citizen apartment complex with 126 one bedroom units. 95% of the residents are from mainland China and Taiwan. They are all my teachers. Each day I go through the Chinese Daily newspaper, mark the words I don't know and then ask them for help while working as a janitor.

[mrmockle]

@DanielStanfiield So you live in China? Not sure where you reside.

[DanielStanfiield]

@mrmockle Los Angeles, CA.

[litomousie]

Whoa :O How long did it took you to learn it?

[DanielStanfiield]

six years and that's was by practicing on a daily basis at work in a Chinese environment.

[lucirz]

the supervisor was chinese? "X

[DanielStanfiield]

No. Anglo

[DanielStanfiield]

School is  not enough. The environment is the key.

[Trakusenpai]

Cantonese/Mandarin is quite unusal for a brother to learn..what motivated you man?

[DanielStanfiield]

Thanks for asking. I was fired 3 times from a temp job by a supervisor who didn't like me based on my skin color. No one would help me so I prayed and asked God for help. The answer was to learn Chinese at work. I did. Then the same supervisor hired me permanent and doubled my wages..
